Pocket Bib Pattern . . .

Our newest grandson, who was born Friday night, was four days overdue which put a little time on my hands the beginning of last week. In April when I announced the impending arrival of this little guy and his two cousins, I introduced a bib pattern that I thought you might like. Go here for that post. At that time some asked if I was going to make the bib pattern available to all, so that's what this post is all about.

In the earlier post I made a Scrappy Bib with this pattern. This time I made a Pocket Bib using the same basic pattern with a pocket added. Here are the two examples of Pocket Bibs I made last week. These are for the grandbaby due in August -- a little girl...

These bibs are so quick and easy to make -- just follow the simple instructions below. At the end of the post you will discover how you can receive this pattern...

Materials...

Cut 2 of bib front and back from cotton or flannel fabric (can be the same fabric or contrasting)

Cut 2 pockets from contrasting fabric

Cut one piece of fusible fleece to be attached to the front of the bib

1 Snap

11" piece of Jumbo Ric-Rac (optional)

Seam Allowance: 1/4 inch unless otherwise noted

Before You Begin Sewing...

1.) Iron on fusible fleece to wrong side of front bib.

Assembling the Pocket...

2.) Begin by placing a piece of Ric-Rac on the right side of the front pocket along the straight edge. Place the bottom of the Ric-Rac flush with the edge of the fabric and sew 1/4" from the edge.
3.) Put front and back pockets right side together and sew a 1/2" seam along the top straight edge, catching half of the Ric-Rac in the seam. (This will be the only 1/2" seam on the bib -- all others are 1/4".)
4.) Turn pocket right side out and press. (Optional: Top-stitch 1/8" across the top of the pocket.)

5.) Place the pocket on top of the front bib, aligning unfinished bottom edges of the bib front and pocket. Baste.

Assembling the Bib...

6.) Place bib front and back right sides together and sew a 1/4 inch seam around the bib, leaving a 2-3 inch opening on the side of the bib above the pocket.

7.) Trim seams to 1/8" around entire bib -- except at the 2-3 inch opening.
8.) Pull right side of bib through the opening and press seams flat
9.) Slip stitch the opening shut.
10.) Optional: Top-stitch the bib 1/8 inch from seams all the way around the bib.

11.) Attach the snap according to directions on package about 1/2" from the tab ends of the bib.

All done!

Grandchildren are so special... we are waiting on the birth of our third grandson in Sept and I can't wait!! Thanks for sharing such a great project. I will email you for the pattern. Came by your blog via Confessions of a Stay at Home Mom - Tueday Party! AJ

So cute! :) Following from Not Just a Housewife. Would love to have you link this up to my {wow me} wednesday link party going on right now over on my blog. The most view link will receive a set of fancy rectangle chalkboard labels from my etsy shop. Hope to see you there.

I love your blog! I am not yet a grandma but hopefully within the next year or two will be blessed this way! I am starting to collect patterns for this time........I am just starting to sew more again after many years of only home decor items. Thanks so much for sharing, most blogs out there seem to be young moms, it's nice to hear from someone n my age bracket!

This is exactly the pattern I've been looking for. My children had a favorite bib exactly like this (25 years ago) that I purchased, and it was the best! I hope the pattern is still available, because I'm not good enough to make my own!!Thanks so much,Cathy

Your bibs and burp cloths are all so cute. I'd love to have the pattern for all of them, but especially the bib with the pocket. I have a great Niece arriving in July and I want to make some cute ones for her. Thank you so much.

I love these bibs! I have a bundle of joy myself that is almost 17 months old and have 3 pregnant women in my church that I would like to make them for! My e-mail is Jam4ra@aol.com. I will go look for your e-mail now.
